The Myth of Capitalism

Monopolies and the Death of Competition

De: Jonathan Tepper, Denise Hearn

Narrado por: Pamela Almand

The Myth of Capitalism tells the story of how America has gone from an open, competitive marketplace to an economy where a few very powerful companies dominate key industries that affect our daily lives. Digital monopolies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon act as gatekeepers to the digital world. Amazon is capturing almost all online shopping dollars. We have the illusion of choice, but for most critical decisions, we have only one or two companies, when it comes to high speed internet, health insurance, medical care, mortgage title insurance, social networks, internet searches, or even consumer goods like toothpaste. Every day, the average American transfers a little of their paycheck to monopolists and oligopolists.

The solution is vigorous anti-trust enforcement to return America to a period where competition created higher economic growth, more jobs, higher wages, and a level playing field for all. The Myth of Capitalism is the story of industrial concentration, but it matters to everyone, because the stakes could not be higher. It tackles the big questions of: why the US is becoming a more unequal society, why economic growth is anemic despite trillions of dollars of federal debt and money printing, why the number of start-ups has declined, and why workers are losing out.

Should Be A Must Listen

Unpacks capitalism and what we have the America very well. I think this should be a must listen regardless of political leanings.

The true issue of our time

Everyone should listen to and understand the premise of this book. Our country depends on it. It only re-enforced all the economic principles that I have been studying. My belief that both the right and left have it wrong and right.

If you love capitalism

If you want to know what’s really going on in America and truly want to fix the current state of things. This provides essential information about what’s really going on in the supposedly free market. The problem is in capitalism. The problem is they blatantly ignoring of the rules and laws which stifle Capitalism.

Great Read

This book will piss you off because it opens your eyes to multiple issues that are not being addressed

A clear and sober call for action

I would love to see this book at the center of political debates. This is truly a must read for anyone who wants diversity in our socioeconomic and political landscape .
